The Gift from the Outer Demon

It was an existence beyond description, an indescribable entity. It resembled a deity overlooking the mortal world, yet also a demon defying the heavens. Its body seemed infinitely vast, filling the entire sky, and even straining one's eyes, one could only catch a glimpse of a fraction of its being.

Yet, it also seemed as if it didn’t exist at all. Its presence had no impact on the world, and no living being could perceive it.

The only one who could see its existence was Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng stared at the colossal entity in the void with a mix of shock and excitement. With just one glance, an overwhelming divine power pierced his eyes.

At that moment, Gu Qingfeng felt as though he was staring directly at the sun from close range.

Ding!

The host has been attacked by the Oath Demon.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Eyes of Truth].

As the system's notification sounded, the boundless divine power that had struck Gu Qingfeng's eyes dissipated. His vision became clearer than ever, shining like stars!

At that moment, he finally saw the true form of the Oath Demon and realized that the terrifying entity before him was merely a projection of its true self.

This projection had no physical form. Instead, it was composed of endless demonic energy and intricate threads of mysterious and profound laws. The demonic energy churned endlessly, and the threads of law constantly shifted and changed.

Within the swirling demonic energy, the image of a hellish realm seemed to emerge, filled with all kinds of evil spirits and asuras, as well as countless souls enduring unspeakable tortures.

Among the threads of law, countless symbols woven from oaths filled the space, vast and endless like a galaxy. Here, it seemed as though one could witness every oath ever made in the world.

Gu Qingfeng was deeply shaken by the scene before him. At that moment, he realized that this world must hold many hidden secrets, and even the legendary Divine Realm might not be the ultimate destination.

At the very least, this mere projection of the Oath Demon far surpassed the Divine Realm.

With just one glance, he had obtained the Eyes of Truth. Such an existence was truly unimaginable.

The Eyes of Truth could see through all illusions in the world and even perceive the laws of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the Oath Demon's projection moved!

As if gently tugging a finger, the thread connected to Gu Qingfeng's soul began to retract. A pulling sensation emanated from his soul.

Gu Qingfeng understood that this was because he had broken an oath. The Oath Demon was trying to drag his soul into the hell within its body, where he would suffer eternal torment with no hope of salvation.

To be honest, at that moment, Gu Qingfeng almost wished for his soul to be dragged away and subjected to the tortures of hell. He knew it would make him grow stronger at an incredible rate. However, the moment the thread moved, the system's notification sounded again.

Ding!

The host has been attacked by the Oath Demon.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Oath of Contract].

Oath of Contract: Using an oath as a contract, those who break their oath will be punished by the laws of oaths.

The moment Gu Qingfeng obtained the Oath of Contract, he was overcome with joy. His first thought was to use it to enslave demons and monsters.

As long as a demon or monster swore loyalty to him, it would never be able to betray him, or it would face severe punishment.

The specific punishment would depend on the content of the oath. For example, if the oath included the words "If I betray you, may I be cut into a thousand pieces and never reincarnate," then breaking the oath would result in exactly that.

This ability was far superior to any other method of enslavement in the world. Ordinary methods required the enslaver to have a higher cultivation level than the enslaved, or else the enslavement might fail or even backfire. Additionally, there were many ways to break such enslavement.

But the Oath of Contract was backed by the laws of oaths, making it irrelevant whether the enslaver was stronger or weaker. This meant that even if a Divine Realm expert swore loyalty to Gu Qingfeng, there would be no need to worry about them breaking their oath.

Moreover, the Oath of Contract wasn’t limited to enslavement. It applied to all oaths. As long as someone swore an oath in his presence, they would be bound to fulfill it!

This was a true law-based divine ability!

Gu Qingfeng excitedly looked at the supreme entity, hoping it would give him more gifts.

However, the projection seemed like a wooden puppet, mechanically tugging at the thread, unable to pull out Gu Qingfeng's soul.

One tug, two tugs, three tugs...

It tugged so much that Gu Qingfeng grew impatient. He thought, "Can’t you put in a bit more effort?"

Having finally encountered a demon from beyond the heavens, he felt it would be a waste not to milk it for more benefits. He had only gained two rewards so far.

Then, in a flash of inspiration, Gu Qingfeng thought, "If it can’t pull me, maybe I can try pulling it down?"

Without hesitation, Gu Qingfeng used the power of the Oath of Contract to grab the thread and began pulling in the opposite direction, attempting to drag the supreme entity down from the heavens.

Thus, two opposing forces of oath laws began to clash.

Snap!

The thread broke.

Gu Qingfeng was stunned. "This thing is so fragile?"

The previously indifferent projection now showed a slight change in expression. It stared at the broken thread in its hand, revealing a hint of human-like confusion.

Then, its body began to crumble and disintegrate, dissolving like countless bubbles popping.

Using the Eyes of Truth, Gu Qingfeng witnessed the entire process. He could clearly see that the laws of this world were rejecting the projection, forcibly expelling it. Clearly, the thread had been the Oath Demon's anchor in this world. With the anchor broken, the "ship" could no longer stay and was blown away by the wind.

After the projection completely dissipated, Gu Qingfeng stood still for a few seconds before coming back to his senses. He muttered with regret, "Damn it! If I’d known the thread was so weak, I wouldn’t have pulled it!"

He had been hoping the Oath Demon would unleash more techniques. What a pity.

As for summoning the Oath Demon again, he would have to wait until he found the Oath Demon Blood Scroll.

Demons from beyond the heavens were separated by countless layers of world barriers, and without a specific medium, it was impossible to contact them.

However, Gu Qingfeng's Oath of Contract was different. As a native of this world, it would take effect as long as someone from this world swore an oath in his presence.

"If I can’t milk the Oath Demon, then I’ll just have to milk you, my dear Blood Demon," Gu Qingfeng suddenly chuckled darkly.

Then, he took out a jade talisman from his spatial ring. Covered in intricate, ghostly runes, it was none other than the Minor Teleportation Talisman gifted by Demon Pu.

......

In the underground palace of the Blood Demon Cult, Demon Pu and the Blood Demon were anxiously waiting for good news.

For some reason, the Blood Demon felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding today, as if something terrible was about to happen.

At his level of cultivation, such premonitions were never baseless—they were always omens.

So, he couldn’t help but ask Demon Pu, "Pu, are you absolutely sure this plan is foolproof? That Gu Qingfeng won’t cause any more trouble?"

Demon Pu quickly replied, "Lord Blood Demon, rest assured. Gu Qingfeng made the Oath Demon Blood Oath in my presence. No matter how eccentric he is, he wouldn’t dare break such an oath."
